| file).

| To change Preference Setting to classic mode:
|
| 1. click Start / Search
| 2. click "Change Preferences"
| 3. click "Without Animated Characters"
| 4. click "Change Preferences"
| 5. click "Change Files and Folders Search Behavior"
| 6. click "Advanced...includes options to manually
| enter search criterias"
| 7. click OK
